*not a literal translation, since the original was idiomatic. This captures the sense of the original, because a literal translation would obscure the meaning. (The asterisk only appears at the first occurrence of the often-repeated phrases.)

**The line translated as "making love for its own sake" literally reads "Physical love is without issue" - 'issue' was a common idiom for children, so a "literal/idiomatic translation" would be "Physical love is childless". It is likely that had it been written in English, it would have read something like I have rendered it.
